Despite the strict upbringing she received, Anna Duggar’s younger sister Susanna Keller is determined to live life on her own terms. In 2012, she shocked fans when it was revealed that she was expecting a child outside of wedlock. The Kellers and Duggars, who publicly uphold conservative values and frown upon premarital sex, were quick to express their disapproval and let Susanna know she did not have their support. As reported by Radar, the Duggars forbade their licensed midwife daughter, Jill, from assisting with Susanna’s delivery. “Michelle and Jim Bob, however, wouldn’t let her participate. They thought Jill shouldn’t be exposed to an unmarried mother in that condition,” a source told the outlet.

Despite the lack of support, Susanna has continued to thrive. In February 2020, she tied the knot with York Bridges in a beautiful ceremony in Florida, which was attended by Anna and her husband, Josh Duggar. “It was so exciting to celebrate with my younger sister Susanna & her husband York on their special day!” Anna gushed on Instagram. Eight months later, Susanna revealed she and Bridges were expecting their first child together. In April 2021, the couple welcomed a baby boy, weeks earlier than Susanna’s expected delivery date. “We are beyond thrilled a thankful that our little man got to come home today #oneweekold #nicubaby,” she captioned an Instagram post.
